    """Illustrate a many-to-many relationship between an
    "Order" and a collection of "Item" objects, associating a purchase price
    with each via an association object called "OrderItem"

    The association object pattern is a form of many-to-many which
    associates additional data with each association between parent/child.

    The example illustrates an "order", referencing a collection
    of "items", with a particular price paid associated with each "item".
